About the series
Over two volumes spanning 2002 to 2006, DC's Enemy Ace Archives collected the harrowing World War I aerial combat tales of German pilot Hans von Hammer, originally crafted by writer Robert Kanigher and artists Joe Kubert and Frank Thorne. These archival editions gathered the brooding, psychologically complex stories that set the standard for anti-war comics, with Kubert's visceral, scratchy artwork and Thorne's dynamic panels bringing the dogfights and von Hammer's haunted code of honor to life. A landmark series for its unflinching look at the cost of war, it remains essential reading for fans of mature, character-driven war comics.
